Buried in the Avalanche, Our Love Expired Novel

Chapter 248 Married In Name How could he dare to mention our "marriage" now? He was even afraid of the look of sarcasm in Nella's eyes if those words ever left his mouth. She had once truly hoped for him. He remembered how she had asked him during a nightmare why he hadn't saved her? She had asked him; she was his wife, so why hadn't he saved her. In that darkness swallowed by nightmares, she must have been completely disappointed in him. 4 Finished That was why, after walking once along the edge of death, she never said a single word about it to him.

Nella watched his nostrils flare, his emotions clearly in violent turmoil. She put the spoon aside, her eyes serious as she met his. "We need to talk." Alfred instinctively shook his head, wanting to refuse, but he gave in under her firm gaze. Looking worn down, he sat in the chair beside her. Nella looked at him. After a few seconds of silence, she suddenly asked, "You heard my conversation with Regis earlier, didn't you?" Alfred's expression shifted slightly. He opened his mouth, then only nodded in silence.

"So you only found out today that I had a crush on you, right?" Alfred froze for a moment, unsure how to answer. But Nella only smiled at him and said, "Actually, you've already guessed it long ago, haven't you?" Faced with her calm questioning, Alfred felt awkward and exposed under her gaze. "You're the CEO of the Keywood Group. You're not stupid-how could you have missed it completely?

The way you openly spoiled Zoey, chose her over me again and again, and kept letting me go every time- besides paying her back for saving your life, wasn't that also meant for me to see?" "Nella..." "You were afraid I'd fall for you, that I'd cling to you and refuse to divorce when the contract ended. You wanted me to give up." As Nella said this, panic instantly surged into Alfred's eyes. "Nella, that's not-" He wanted to deny it, but when he met Nella's calm, gentle gaze, his panic turned into embarrassment. An embarrassment of being exposed by her.

Chapter 248 Married In Name Finished "Honestly, you didn't need to worry about it so much. I'm not unreasonable or the type to cling and refuse to let go. I wouldn't force you to like me just because I liked you." Nella continued, her voice steady. "Besides, I stopped liking you a long time ago." She said this sentence just as calmly. Alfred's face went pale again, the panic and helplessness showing more clearly than ever. "I'm not telling you this to complain about anything. I just want you to know that from the moment I signed that contract, I've kept my boundaries.

I never interfered in what you did, and I never demanded anything from you. "That avalanche was just an accident. I was simply unlucky enough to run into it. You don't need to take the blame on yourself." As she said this, her gaze grew even more resolute than before. "Alfred, we're married in name only." Hearing Nella emphasize this ridiculous relationship once again, the panic and confusion in Alfred's heart only grew stronger. With reddened eyes, he looked at her, his lips trembling slightly.
